• Dorothy Fields and Jerome Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight."

• Rodgers and Hart's "My Romance."

• The classic, "I'll Be Seeing You."

• "Raining in My Heart" from Dames at Sea, her Off-Broadway hit.

• Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim's "Some People," from Gypsy.

• Sondheim's "Hello Little Girl," "Any Moment," "No One Is Alone" (Into the Woods), "Sooner or Later" (from the film "Dick Tracy"), "Later" (A Little Night Music), "With So Little to Be Sure Of" (Anyone Can Whistle), "Children Will Listen" (Into the Woods), "Move On" (Sunday in the Park With George), "Johanna" (Sweeney Todd), "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" and "Being Alive" (Company) and "Not a Day Goes By" (Merrily We Roll Along).
